Trader Joe’s

Just moved here from a small town and I absolutely LOVE this Trader Joe’s, great selection, fantastic prices. I’ll never have to eat out again with all of these fantastic microwavable and pre-​made meals. Affordable and delicious!!!

One of my friends was mentioning this place but i didn’t know it is so easy to get to by public transit. I have been there twice in the past several weeks and I think I enjoyed my experience. I particularly like their pasta products, there is such a large variety of them! I also like their flowers, today I got a lovely bunch of iris! Last but not least, their staff is so very friendly and wants to help!

My best friend lives and breaths this store and I can see why. I never did shop here even though she always talked about the awesome prices and organic products they have until the other day. The fruit and veggies they have are super fresh & they have a large variety of organic foods ! Usually organic means expensive to me but here it’s really not that bad. They have items that the normal grocery stores usually don’t have which is really good. They have lots of parking and the staff is really nice and ready to help you. I’ll be shopping here more often.

I am a die hard Trader Joe fan. This is the only grocery store I use and order the rest of life necessities off amazon. Fair warning though parking here can be BRUTAL!

GREAT SELECTIONS… RUDE IMPATIENT CASHIER
I’m sure nobody cares but I wanted to let someone know.
I visited trader joes for the first time. Great selection of food, but somehow I managed to get the rudest cashier in the whole store. Seems like all of the other cashiers were nice…
Except the one I had.
Maybe I just caught Mr Travion when he was having an off day? I sure hope, because it was not a pleasant experience.

I don’t know how people still don’t know about this place. An «attempting to be healthy person’s» dream. Way more reasonably priced than whole foods with some better vegan options. The trader joes brand products are awesome. I love getting my bagged kale and spinach from there. It’s cheaper than the grocery store. Personal favs: Olive and Sea Salt popcorn, yogurt guilt-​free guac, soy chorizo and the moisturizing conditioners (all trader Joe brand). They also give samples!

Love this Trader Joe’s! Great flowers, pre-​made salads, fresh veggies and your TJ staples. It’s always busy, but the lines move quickly. Really helpful and friendly staff, too.

I first was introduced to Trader Joes by my girlfriend a couple years ago. I had traditionally been a critic as I constantly heard about the lack of selection and the need to go to another store afterwards just to finish the weeks shopping.
To an extent this criticism is true. However, I am a firm believer businesses should only be judged on what they try to be, not what people expect. Trader Joes is not your one stop grocer. They offer a decent selection of your basic staples plus an array of great prepared options for those to busy to cook.
I will say, the produce is Whole Foods quality, the meat is always good, and I like probably ⁴⁄₅ things I get from the prepared section. I am a big fan of their frozen pizzas, Asian selection, Indian freezer meals, and their salads. I know everyone raves about the wine selection, which is decent for the price, but not anything spectacular.
One of my biggest compliments is the people who work there. They are unbelievably friendly, helpful, and give great insight into their TJ favorites.
The one thing this Trader Joes could do better at is the PARKING LOT. It is way too small and compact for all the businesses that use it for their patrons. I do not know how, but this is something they need to change.
Overall, I recommend you try Trader Joes once if you have not and I guarantee you will be hooked.

I love Trader Joe’s and the staff at this location is always super helpful when you are looking for something. You don’t even have to ask, I guess they sense it. I have been serenaded twice at this location as I was helped to locate something. I get what I am looking for plus a little singing, I’ll take it. The shelves are always stacked and clean. I don’t think that there has ever been a time that I went in that they were not offering some sample of something. If you bring someone and it’s their first time, let the cashier know. They will ring a bell and provide you with a Trader Joe’s bag. I thought it was pretty cute when I first went along with a friend. Silly me, thought I had won some money or a store item with that bell ringing. Just in case your interested, my go to items are chia seeds, flax seeds, coconut oil, salsa, black corn chips and any type of salted chocolate cover almonds. Oh, and pink salt.

Love the feel and size of this Trader Joe’s. It was well-​stocked with all of our favorite cheeses and juices and the staffers were the best. Parking is generous and free. Just a bit hard to get in and out of at times.
This location participates in a gift card giveaway by issuing a ticket for each reusable grocery bags that you bring in. Not every Trader Joe’s does not anymore, so we were super excited to find out that they did.
One Palm up.

I love Trader Joe’s. We’ve been to a few Trader Joe’s in and around Atlanta but this is the one we frequent since it’s closer to us.
Trader joes carries so many wonderful products at good prices. I love the flowers here, the breads, frozen food, cheeses etc.etc.
If you ever see their pesto gouda cheese here, grab one, it’s amazing. I also like buying coconut oil here because they sell it cheaper than most places. If you want some easy frozen meals, they have a pretty good selection. Some of my favorite frozen food items here are the thai curry (comes with rice), pad thai and pasta dishes in a bag. They’re all delicious.
Also, everytime we go here, my kids tries to find their hidden stuff toy. I didn’t even know they did such a thing until they found it one time. They brought it to the customer service counter, got a prize and then they got to hide it again. They thought it was fun!

Trader Joe’s is basically a toy store for grown-​ups. I was about to write for adults but that sounds wildly inappropriate. Anyway, I’m way sad that I don’t live that close to a TJ’s so I come to this store periodically, and not often enough since I always spend too much time there each visit, taking in all the new items and other things that are begging to go home with me.
I’m definitely a fan of the whimsical packaging and occasional cute names. The prices are very reasonable. Plus the employees are all pretty nice which helps too. The wide selection of frozen foods is perfect for quick lunches or those in-​between times when you’re too tired/​lazy to cook from scratch but don’t want to go out for dinner. I definitely find myself spending too much time in the cheese section. Mmm, double cream gouda. And don’t miss the samples section right there. They usually have coffee and some sort of treat to try.
The downside to this location is the headache that is parking. Your best bet is to come later in the day or I guess when it first opens.
Just try to leave this store without something containing cookie butter!

Trader Joes is my favorite snack one stop shop to go to. Everything is reasonably priced and a lot of products are pretty unique. They don’t carry any products that contains artificial additives which is a plus! You will find a few items that ranges from chocolate covered potato chips to mochi ice cream. They offer plenty of ethnic frozen food items or ingredients. The staff is super friendly and helpful, which makes my shopping trips a lot more pleasant.
I can’t comment much on the produce because I don’t come here for those, even though i have seen they are fairly priced. I come here mainly for my snacks that I always enjoy, and the well known COOKIE BUTTER! A few snacks I end up getting are the Caramel and cheddar Popcorn (chicago mix), inner peas contemplates (crunchy pea snacks), dried mangoes, Belgian chocolate, and dried banana chips. I don’t live in Atlanta, but I do make a stop on the way home after work which is semi-​convenient. For parking, i haven’t had much of an issue to be honest, some people aren’t patient. I do have to say I love the wine and flowers selections here as well. Very affordable and great at the same time. I come here all the time to get some wine or champagne to pack in to friends gifts. Come here to just browse and you probably won’t leave empty handed:)

What can be said about Trader Joe’s that hasn’t already been hashed out in the previous 200+ reviews? It’s less than 5 min away, so I’m sure the workers are beginning to recognize us, as we frequent the wine aisle about 4 days a week. I love TJ in the fall when all of the pumpkin fare hit the shelves. I was stocking up when the cashier asked if I had tried the pumpkin flavored cream cheese. I hadn’t, so she gifted the sweet deliciousness for me. That cream cheese was EVERYTHING! I usually run over to TJ for specialty items or a quick meal, as some things are still a little too pricey for my pocket book. I would definitely give TJ a try, if you’re looking to steer from the norm for dinner. We tried the potstickers and fried rice a few nights ago, and it was sooooo good. The great thing about TJ is if you don’t like something, you can return it, even if it was cooked.
While I can’t use TJ for all of my grocery needs, I still find myself in this store a few times a week. My only gripe is that their veggie and fruit selections are quite lacking.

I like this place. A lot of organic food selection and cheese too. I have to start coming here often.

Trader Joe’s is magical…
When you walk through the doors, you’re transported to a place where the food is good, good for you, and won’t break the bank. I can’t recall purchasing anything here that I hated. And even if I did hate it, I didn’t spend a ton on it so whateves. I love shopping here. It makes me happy. Who says that about grocery shopping? A Trader Joe’s customer, that’s who.
And hello, they have cookie butter… COOKIE BUTTER. I think I’m gonna get some after I write this review.
Parking is usually annoying in this lot, but I usually manage to get a good spot.

Back when I lived in Southern California, I used to despise Trader Joe’s. My main peeve was their stupid checkout layout where you nosed up to a cashier and when done, had to back out again. YDFM has this arrangement now. Plus, I thought it a bit pretentious. But my mother loved TJ’s, so I still shopped there for her. Anything for Mom, right?
That was seventeen years ago. Not only does TJ’s in Atlanta have saner checkout lanes, over the years I’ve grown to appreciate their selection and quality quite a bit. They have a lot of everything I like and I especially like their prepared foods, including canned, jarred and frozen items. I can get good fresh groceries, good bread, a better beer selection and other things elsewhere, but when you combine the whole package and throw in the reasonable prices and super-​friendly staff, TJ’s is hard to beat. They have a good selection of cruelty-​free stuff (organic), too.

Best buys:
–Flowers! And they seem to last longer than from other stores, too.
–Produce! $ 2 for a big bag of sweet potatoes keeps me consistently full and always slightly worried that I’ll turn orange. I love that they have so many ready-​to-​eat or cook veggies and fruit. The stir fry kit and seasoned brussell sprouts are delicious and a huge time saver.
–Cheese! Great selection, helpful descriptions for new products, best prices in town. Thanks to Trader Joe’s I make a mean cheese plate. I always add the pepper salami that they have in the cheese section. It’s about $ 5 and I haven’t found any other pre-​cut salami that rivals it’s taste.
Downside:
–Parking. Kind of a nightmare, but doable.
–Long lines. I have tried mornings, weekdays, late nights, but still haven’t figured out how to beat the lines. I would probably buy more from Trader Joe’s if the store wasn’t so crowded and I had time to really look around without being cart to cart.
–TJ’s products are hit and miss. The wine country chicken salad is totally delicious, the reduced guilt guacamole with Greek yogurt, pretty unedible. It’s a gamble.

Whether you are looking for Two Buck Chuck, or Porto Morgado, Trader Joe’s has something for every shopper who deep down inside is a undercover hippy who appreciates health food.
Usually my routine is some Rita’s water ice next door and up the stairs I go to Trader Joe’s. This is a delightful little store, they have huge selections of all sorts of wines, including a good selection of produce, although some of it is a bit over pricey compared to other organic produce I have purchased elsewhere. Generally the only produce I buy here is their frozen fruits and I use those for fruit smoothies. They have great prices on soy milk, almond milk and the like, if you are one who prefers staying away from the utters.
Now, truthfully, I am not a big fan of frozen food, why? Because frozen food typically becomes freezer burned after being thawed and refrozen throughout its journey to the store, so I prefer fresh. However, Trader Joe’s Gyoza Potstickers are one of my favourite once in a blue moon treats, they are really good. Trader Joe has plenty items that are considered to be their house brand, many of these are organic products and they are extremely reasonable in price. A few items that I really like are their organic tomato basil marinara, cereal bars (if you like cereal bars for yourself or kids, these are excellent because their brand is very nutrient dense, they are full of vitamins/​minerals), olive oils, artichokes, flaxseed chips and more.
If you have kids, while shopping here, have them look around for the Trader Joe’s dog, each store is different. Some stores have a monkey, turtle, etc… If they find the stuffed dog here, they get to pick from the treasure box.
The staff at this location is very friendly, frequently I see the same cashiers. These guys are excellent at bagging groceries as well; I am amazed at how many items they can put into one bag.
As an important notice, do not park in the private parking lot here if you are not shopping at the stores within this plaza, you will be towed, or booted.

All I can say is I am SO EXCITED to be getting a TJ’s in Jax Beach this Fall!
I loved everything about this store… well everything except the fact that you can’t take pictures inside b/​c of the artwork (or so I was told).
I bought 2 items while there and told the cashier that I was a first timer… she then rang a bell (like one of those BIG tipper bells you see in some bars) and gave me a free reusable Trader Joe’s Atlanta tote.
